eight RBIs in three season-opening wins Saturday at the Warrior

three RBIs in an 8-0 win over Austin College, and followed that up
with a 4-for-4 performance with three RBIs and two runs scored in a
14-1 win over Greenville. Ingell concluded the record-breaking day
by going 3-for-4 with three runs scored and two RBIs in an 8-0 win
over Hendrix College. She earned the honor for the fourth time in
her career.

Pitkin struck out 13 and tossed the 22nd no-hitter in school

Saturday in Conway, Ark. She also threw two shutout innings
allowing one hit with two strikeouts in the 8-0 win over Hendrix.
